I was going to go look at the video to see what it was and it seemed to say that that was the video of the fatal accident... I pass. I don't want to look at it and think... those guys, right there, are about to die.

It looks like fun, but people should remember to zorb responsibly. I would never zorb with Al Roker, for example..... I'll bet that the inside of the contraption smells like stale vomit. That and other effluvia and severed body parts probably put a lot of people off the sport.

The dead man had two kids, so not eligible for a Darwin Award. The original Zorb people in NZ have said that double-zorbing, zorbing near cliffs, and zorbing on courses without berms to keep the zorb on course are not appropriate.

Apparently the owners of the Russian zorbing operation are now on the run since criminal charges are pending.

The Sochi Olympics are only about a year away. I have a feeling they will be...interesting.

Seems like a typically Russian idea of fun. Start with cold and snow,then add a ball that gives you no control at all. Get inside and roll down a hill surrounded by cliffs with virtually nothing to keep you from going over them.

I know someone named Darwin. Honest to God, when I first heard of the Darwin Awards, I thought it was named after him. Darwin possessed all of those attributes that would have won him the honor many times.
